EX.RepreSentattve Barbour Talks.
he SPEAKS OF THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN VIRGINIA
AND THE SMASH-UP ONsTHE Y.
Ex-Congressman Barbour, OF Virginia, speaking
to STAR reporter Of the political outlook in that
State, said to-day:
sour people tthe democratS all feel hopeful,
even confident. The party is harmonious, and it
never was in better fighting trim. never at
tended q finer convention than the one we held re-
Gently at Roanoke. A sentiment OF confidence
pervaded the entire bo1y. While the democrats
are harmonious and united, the other side is quar-
reling. There are many republicans who regard
the restoration OF Malone to power the greatest
evil that could afflict the State and Malone viii
not consider anything short OF his own elevation
to absolute power. The campaign will open next
month" !
The conversation turned upon the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad accident, and MI. Barbour OBJ
served:
'.Many Of the railroad accidents result from the
efforts OF trains to catch up with lost time
When was in charge OF the Midland road issued
standing order that there should be no fast run
ming to recover lost time; that when train was
behind time 1t must so remain. The record will
show that we had no accidents except such small
ones as are perhaps unavoidable"

A Struggle with Thieves.

Lorenzo Bateman, a storekeeper at We
nonah, and former resident of this place,
had an exciting tussle with two thieves on
Monday night, which ended in their cap
ture. Early in the evening two young
men, strangers to Mr.. Bateman, called at
his store and inquired the price of certain
articles, and then left. Some time after
the proprietor saw these same men on the
street in front of his store, and noticed
that one of them was trying to smash the
glass in the front door with his fist. He
went out and demanded that they desist,
whereupon they attacked him, one of them
pointing revolver at his head. A struggle
ensued, and the thieves succeeded in throw
ing Mr.. Bateman to the ground, where
one of the assailants bit a piece out of his
cheek. Mrs. Bateman was witness to the
struggle between the robbers and her hus-
band, and she screamed for help. Her
cries soon brought three neighbors to the
scene, who secured the men after sharp
resistance. They were turned over to Con-
stable Dilks, who took them to Woodbury.,
where they were given hearing before
Justice Lvermore, on Tuesday morning.
who committed them in default of 81 200
bail each. They gave their names as John
Reilly and Frederick Carney, and are sup
posed to be Philadelphians.

Horrible Cruelty to IA Child.

Last summer little Fannie Person the
six-year-old orphan daughter Of Charles
Pierson, of Pedricktown was indentured to
William and Florence Gibbs by the poor
authorities. James NJ. Mills, of Pedrick-
town, having made complaint to Secre
tary Speakman, of the S. p. c. c., that lie
had reason to believe that the little one was
being cruelty treated, an investigation was
instituted which resulted in the arrest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbs yesterday afternoon by
Officers Pedrick and Cooper The man
is employed at Starts foundry and resides
at ia Riggold street, near the foundry.
The informant and Mr.. Pierson were both
members of Acton Post G.. A. r of Salem.
The hearing was given before Justice
Brown, at the city hall, and from the
evidence it was elected that it was the
habit of the defendants to tie a cord about
the child's wrists and hang her UP until the
tips of her toes touched the floor. 1t was
also shown that at frequent periods they
crossed her wrists, and after tying them
and fastening the cord to a nail in the door
heavy brick had been placed on the crossed
wrists. The climax of cruelty was reached
when it was shown that the child had been
at times compelled by her cruel guardians
to eat her own filth. Mr.. Mills said that
when he told the woman that
he wonld investigate the matter, she said
he could do what he pleased Justice
Brown found them both guilty and fined
them $40 and costs. The child was re-
manded to the Camden S. p. 9. c. This
is the first conviction made by the society.

Along the Railroads.

Work on the new railway from Glass
boro to Mullica Hill is progressing rapidly
and the work of grading has nearly reach
ed the limits of Glassboro.
The section men of the Camden and At
lantic Railroad have received an order to
take up the rails on the Mays Landing

The stockholders of the Swedsboro rail-

idation with the West Jersey Railroad

erthe subject, but adjourned without trans
acting any business. 1t was found that
the subject could not be acted upon, it be-
ing forbidden by the statutes, except at

why the House Wasn't opened.

Many exaggerated statements have gain
ed currency concerning the failure of Pat
Rooney and his troupe to appear at the
Opera House last Friday night as announc-
ed. One version of the affair in the May S
Landing Journal says that crowd of five
hundred persons was in the street waiting
for the doors to open, which is probably
more than were ever in the house at one
time since it was built, with possibly two
or three exceptions. As matter of fact
up to the time Rooney's troupe left town
in the 4. 04 train for Philadelphia, exactly
eight seats had been sold for the perform
ance. The facts oe the case are that
Rooney's advance agent had made a con-
tract for the board of the troupe, consist
ing of fourteen persons, at Mrs. Hewitt's
during their stay in Woodstown, as they
had done at their previous appearance
here. When the company arrived on the
2.47 train, over five hours late, Pat, who
seemed to be tired aud weary from some
cause or other, insisted upon going to the
hotel with part Of the troupe, with the
chances strongly in favor of his not being
sufficiently rested to play in the evening.
The owner of the house preferred to keep
it closed rather than have the troupe per-
form under the circumstances, and as Pat
seemed entirely illing to lay off for the
night it was closed accordingly. And that
is all there was of it except what addition
al racket outsiders saw fit to kick mp on
their own account on the strength OF It,.
The proprietor of the house reserves the
right to say that any man, or set OF men,
proposing to play in the house must keep
sober, at which the play going part of the
community need find no fault.
